In 2016, we talked with Michelle Zauner about her debut album as Japanese Breakfast.

For Zauner her album Psychopomp functioned as a creative outlet to process emotion and overcome loss. But the juxtaposing melodies and mood of the album offer a lightness that makes this LP stand out as one of our favorites from 2016.

On this throwback episode, Zauner talks about confronting what she’s afraid of in and through her music, the transformation her album went through, and the success it’s received since its release.

We’re excited to revisit this radio interview on the femchord podcast.
